We are delighted to invite you to attend our upcoming event: Cancer Prevention - Screening & Awareness for Communities.

📆 Tuesday 28th October 2025
⏰ 12:30pm - 2:30pm
🏫 Gas Green Youth & Community Centre (Baker Street, Cheltenham)

Our very special programme brings together healthcare colleagues, specialist clinicians, and local cancer charities who are keen to share information about Cancer Prevention, including:

- Healthcare inequalities data and how we can reduce the rate of late stage cancers and cancer deaths in under-represented communities
- National cancer screening programmes and how to participate in them
- A discussion on the definition of good cancer care from the perspective of a Consultant Clinical Oncologist.

Community volunteers will lead groups who need translation in Gujarati, Bengali and Arabic.
